    Story #6 - The Name of the Enemy

    Author’s Note: So this will be my last fic. At least for now. I wrote all that I wanted to. I actually could’ve done this and uploaded it months ago, I just...didn’t. This will establish, or rather finalize the state of affairs, such as they are, before our own player characters will begin their...

    Sound Retention Technology & The Bow

    Sound Retention Technology Creating a completely transparent field that only blocked sound proved to be a more difficult task than anticipated, during the technological boom that gave rise to the first shields and their fast widespread use. Developed sometime after, sound-retention fields...

    New Species #3

    Theirs is the only kind of grazing I wanna see from any NPCs/enemies. Suggested names for the mammal: Sylvan Sylvan Oryx Sylvan Gazelle Branching Oryx Branching Gazelle Tree Oryx Tree Gazelle For the insect: Bevy - it's a plural noun, but here it can refer to either just one or more of them.

    Ember Story #5 - Silenced Ether

    Author's note: Everything, all events that I've written in my fan-stories are meant to be taken as prequels to the story we will be experiencing in-game. When we'll create our character and take our first servo-whirring steps in the game-world, the events in my stories have already happened and...

    Story #4 - Strangers in a Stranger Land

    Story #4 Strangers in a Stranger Land Smiling silver eyes gazed up, into a sky that had shifted, over the course of a few days, from an eternal lapis to a promising proper blue, with the responsible atmospheric converter station looming in the seemingly boundless distance. Bringing her...

    New Species #2

    Frankensteined together from a Kudu (antlers and face), Komodo Dragon (base body), Rhino (horned tail) and Zebra (stripes). Images used: Since the two main species used were the Kudu and the Komodo Dragon, possible names could be: Twine Varanus Kudusaurus Kudu Dragon Nail-Hammer Horn-Tail

    New Species - Dusk Raptor

    Entry last edited: 3 minutes ago. 2 minute ago 2 minute ago. 1 minute ago. 45 seconds ago. 30 seconds ago. The images I used were these. The Turians are described as bird-like, within the game. And the species is a Bearded Vulture, actually. Also, coincidentally, it has the perfect colors.

    HOME Station - How should it look? How demanding? Development and performance-wise.

    I started playing a game called The Ascent. While the gameplay is nothing really new or spectacular, the developers REALLY went mental with the HUB of the game. It's very cyberpunk, meaning both the game and the genre (well, duh). Not much to do, other than run around, open crates and talk to...

    Story #3 - THE FORGE

    Author's note: A weakness of mine, when it comes to writing, is the ability to accurately imagine/predict just how advanced technology would be in a fictional setting. As I've already said, in my review of the novel, the whole Fabric thing blew my mind. I did not expect anything like that...

    Story - Downtime

    Story #2 Downtime Apart from shifts, there was really no order to when someone was off-duty. You could spend your free-time still running ops planetside, if your frame was in working order. Some escaped into that, some to a bar, others shut their eyes and the world out, until they went back on...

    Story - What This Land Giveth (The First Discovery of Phased Ore)

    @Ronyn @Grummz @nethril#8239 ? The electric impulse of a thought reached across the Fabric of cyberspace and translated into digital letters displayed on a retinal HUD. "Cullman?" It read. The blinking of eyes did not darken the message and they briefly refocused on the ash-capped snow-scape...

    THMPR Hologram Animations

    THMPR Hologram Animations Going by what's been described in the novel, our MEK-As, aside from emojis on their faceplate, can project a holographic body, to represent them, which can take any shape. If that's the case, then, with enough funding we should be able to have our THMPR use the...

    The Danger of a Technocratic Society

    The Danger of a Technocratic Society As I was reading the Vision Book, the alternate history, how the Enshigi ruled with science as they advanced it, while attempting to repress the emotional side of humanity, it showed a definitive dangerous downside of a society that may want to eliminate...

    The Speed of Biome Revival and Vulpeculi

    I think it would be worth establishing, either in the Vision Book or the novel, or both, that the different types of biomes have already existed on planet EM-8ER, but they were frozen over by the same (artificial) process that imprisoned the Tsi-Hu there. So, once the atmospheric converters...

    For Your Consideration: The Music of the Gatestriders

    Now, some of these are more fitting than the others. And they aren't in any particular order, except for the very first one. THAT one, in particular, might as well be the theme of EM-8ER, right there. You'll see! :D And some have sounds that fit a sci-fi, mecha-combat, alien planet environment...

    My GATESTRIDERS NOVEL Review & Nitpicks

    Firstly, it was very interesting to hear further details about the technology, especially the THMPR AI personalities and their intelligence. And the Fabric! It's a cool concept, which, along with the description of how their HUD works, the zooming, filters, trackers...etc. opens up a lot of room...

    I RE-READ the Vision Book. Here are my thoughts and mandatory nit-picky spell-checks.

    After re-reading the Vision Book, I noticed some new things in it that I don't remember reading the first time. So, apparently it got an update, which is neat. I have some thoughts on just a few things, written in order, as I was reading through the pages. And kept backing out of the PDF reader...

    If I'm already a Deepscanner, I cannot purchase the new-comer pack, like D-Gater? Also don't necessarily want to upgrad.

    I'd like the GeeSuit V2 and the Dropship that are listed in the D-Gater Pack. The Deepscanner status doesn't seem to have those. And from there it only allows me to upgrade to Terraformer, Tsi-Hunter and so on. And none of those packages list the GeeSuit or dropship. What's the deal here? Also...

    The English of the EMBER universe and its (alternate) history!

    Again, this is something I've mentioned before, but didn't really elaborate on. I brought up how in certain sci-fi series they came up with words, both technical terms and slang that are in use in the everyday lives of the people in those fictional worlds. I recently started reading the...

    Size Of Armaments, Going Frame-less, Repairs

    Considering that even the lightest of frames could be carrying cannons of considerable caliber, compared to what a single person could or will be equipped with (outside of their frames), the enemies, particularly the Tsi-Hu, ought to warrant such fire-power. Even the smallest grunts and runts of...
